THE FOUR CANDLES

Four candles slowly burned.

The ambiance was so soft, one could almost hear them talking

The first candle said:

I am Peace!
The world is full of anger and fighting. Nobody can keep me lit.

Then the flame of Peace went out completely.

The second candle said:

I am Faith!
I am no longer indispensable. It doesnt make sense that I stay lit another moment. Just then a breeze softly blew Faiths flame.

Sadly the third candle began to speak:

I am Love!
People dont understand my importance so they simply put me aside. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them. And waiting no longer Loves flame went out.

Suddenly a child entered the room and saw the three unlit candles. Why arent you burning? Youre supposed to stay lit till the end. Saying this, the child began to cry.

Then the fourth candle answered:

Dont be afraid,

I am Hope!
While I am still burning we can re-light the other candles.

With shining eyes the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles.

The Greatest Of These Is Love

but the flame of Hope should never go out of your life! With hope each of us can live with Peace, Faith and Love.

PRAYER:
Dear God, You are my light and salvation. You are my hope. Please come into my heart, forgive all my wrongs and give me Your wonderful gift of eternal Life. Help me be an instrument of Your love and cause Your light to shine on others through me. Amen
